NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil slumped
5 percent to near six-year lows on Monday, accelerating its months-long
rout after Goldman Sachs slashed its short-term price forecasts and
Gulf producers showed no signs of curbing output.
Brent
was down $2.34 to $47.78 a barrel by 11:47 a.m. EST (1637 GMT), after
dropping as low as $47.18 to its lowest since April 2009.
U.S. crude oil was down $1.98 at $46.38 after earlier hitting a low of $45.90, also near six-year low. (more)
